No link yet, but MSNBC reports that the Dominican Republic is pulling their troops out of Iraq.
The White House is said to be 'frantically' calling allies to make sure nobody else pulls out.
Here's the story from AP:
The Dominican Republic will pull its troops out of Iraq (news - web sites) early, in the next few weeks, following the lead of Spain and Honduras, Gen. Jose Miguel Soto Jimenez said Tuesday.The announcement came just two days after President Hipolito Mejia pledged to keep the country's 302 troops in Iraq until their one-year committment ended in August.
"The troops in Iraq will be coming back in the next couple weeks," the Dominican Armed Forces general said.
Soto Jimenez said the president changed course based on security concerns for Dominican soldiers after Honduras announced its troops would be pulled back early.
The Dominicans have been serving with the 370 Honduran troops under a Spanish-led brigade policing Iraq's al-Qadisiya and Najaf provinces since August.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
It seems the good people of other democracies have decided giving Bush a blank check in lives and dollars is a bad idea. If only Americans would also realize the folly and Drive Bush Out of Office!
